Just a few weeks after becoming engaged, Bindi Irwin could not be happier ... in life, in love and with her amazing family right by her side.

The "Dancing With the Stars" champ and conservationist, 21, has been posting up a storm on how she and her fiance Chandler Powell make such a great team.

"Releasing a gorgeous magpie back into the wild after he was treated at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. We make a good team, @chandlerpowell," she wrote.

But this is not her first post with the duo working together. The pair's lives are intertwined as they both love wildlife and each other.

On Thursday, she wrote, "Here’s to the forever friendships that fill your heart."

She shared a video with her brother Robert, Chandler and others.

Before this, she posted a family pic with her mother as well.

"‪Appreciation Post: My fiancé, mama and brother. My everything. I’m in constant awe of their strength & kindness, their ability to create such positive change on the planet. They inspire me to believe in the goodness of the world and to reach for the stars, always," she penned.

But it all comes back to her father's legacy and what drives Bindi to make the world a better place.

In yet another heartwarming post from earlier this year, Irwin added, "Beginning our life together, saving wildlife and wild places. We will always honour Dad’s legacy and continue his mission, especially his passion for protecting beautiful saltwater crocodiles."

Irwin and Powell were engaged at the end of last month, both announcing the news on Instagram, the activist writing, "July 24th 2019 On my birthday I said ‘yes’ and ‘forever’ to the love of my life. Chandler, close to 6 years ago I fell in love with you and every day since has been a whirlwind of adventure and true happiness."
